But, as we have told again and again on this forum, the FLDS has absolutely no connection with the LDS.
It’s a newspaper. They always defend evil and foment strife.
“But, as we have told again and again on this forum, the FLDS has absolutely no connection with the LDS. “
I know you were being sarcastic, but I think it depends on the meaning of ‘no connection’.
The FLDS and LDS are definitely not ‘associated’ with each other, legally, technically, and it is fully documented in their doctrines.
They ‘split’ a long time ago, and that has been discussed well on his forum.
The ‘connection’ is that LDS must condemn the activities of Warren Jeffs and his Loyal Inner Circle, and the whole YFZ Ranch thing, but they must preserve and protect the doctrines of Joseph Smith.
They are between a rock and a hard spot, and that is why the ‘interest’ of the SLTRIB.
There is a lot of money involved in this, and I could see the LDS reabsorbing the FLDS if the FLDS quit the ‘alleged’ illegal practices.
After all, the YFZ Ranch has a nice temple, and $100 million in the UEP.
And this is not intended as a slam on Mormons. It is just some basic honesty.
There is nothing wrong with the LDS taking in the FLDS if they conform to the current LDS doctrines.
If they still refuse, then, so be it. It’s their religion.
They NOW actually have a choice, for the first time in 150 years. It will be interesting to see if the FLDS membership is allowed to exercise that freedom, or if they are still under the leash of Warren and Willie.
